France has confirmed that Louane will sing for the country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025.

She also offers advice for others coping with the loss of loved ones. From winning a César Award for Most Promising Actress to topping the French charts to winning fans on The Voice of France, Louane has a storied career already.
